You'd be happy to know that a lot of that software is still floating around. A company call Niakwa markets a language called NPL (formerly Basic-2C). The started off with duplicating Wang 2200 Basic. Since it was an incremental compile (one of the first), they maintained the run/beep development environment and yet it was also possible to run 2200 code virtually unchanged under Windows, Unix, VMS, SPARC, and IBM platforms.
Now the language is much more, but it's amazing how much of that original Wang stuff is still floating around.

I debugged the version WANG released in 1978, I think.
